    But Senator Brandis is opposing it with his legal team in the High Court. Not a certainty, and if it fails, it means a constitutional precedent forcing marriage into the hands of the Federal Government, or at best only the states.

    true but if it passes it will be the first in state to legalize it and then if it is taken away it could lead to more support i think.
